EXT. LIBRARY -- MOMENTS LATER -- FALL 85
The LIMO DRIVER slams the limo door. Carrie is seen through
the window, sitting in back -- stunned. Miranda and Charlotte
are in the back next to her -- stunned.
63.
86 INT. BIG'S CAR -- CONTINUOUS -- FALL 86
Big sits, pale, staring off as the car drives away.
BIG
(sudden realization)
What the fuck am I doing? What the
fuck am I doing?
(to Raoul)
Turn around and go back.
RAOUL
It's a one way street. I have to go
around the block.
BIG
By the time we go around the block
she'll be gone. No one's behind us -
- Turn around!
EXT. 41ST STREET -- CONTINUOUS -- FALL 87
Big's car makes a QUICK three-point turn and starts back up
the one-way street as Carrie's limo turns onto it.
88 INT. BIG'S CAR -- CONTINUOUS -- FALL 88
Raoul sees the limo -- coming.
RAOUL
I think this is them.
BIG
Pull over. Pull over.
Big's car pulls over, as the limo approaches. Big powers down
his window -- as the limo passes, he sees Carrie in the
window --resting her head against the glass, listless.
BIG (CONT'D)
Carrie!
Carrie looks up, and see's Big. He smiles an apologetically
smile. Her limo keeps on moving. Big watches it go. Until...
EXT. 41ST STREET -- CONTINUOUS -- FALL 89
The limo SCREECHES to a halt. The back door flies open and
Carrie almost leaps out. Big sees her, he looks relieved.
64.
She hurries up the street to Big's car holding her bouquet.
Big gets out of his car just as Carrie reaches him.
BIG
I freaked out for a minute -- but --
I'm ready now --
Carrie HITS him with her bouquet. It's a violent direct hit
on his face. He recoils. She hits him again, hard... a
wounded sound escaping her throat.
BIG (CONT'D)
Carrie!
She hits him again. He ducks back into the car for
protection. She hits the bouquet on the roof of the car --
the flowers start breaking apart and flying everywhere.
CARRIE
I knew you would do this -- I knew
it!
Miranda reaches Carrie and holds her back by her waist. Big
gets back out of the car and starts over to her.
BIG
I'm sorry -- I just --
With all she has left, she throws the broken bouquet at him.
CARRIE
You left! I am humiliated!
Carrie starts crying. Charlotte has arrived. Carrie turns and
falls into her arms. Miranda and Charlotte lead her away. Big
starts over to follow.
BIG
Carrie, wait --
Charlotte whips her head around and stares him down.
CHARLOTTE
No!
He stops in his tracks. A WAITRESS (20's) at the Brant Park
Cafe nearby "over-pours" water into a CUSTOMER'S glass --
riveted by the scene. Miranda and Charlotte move Carrie back
into the limo. A CAB comes down the street and HONKS at Big
standing in the road; dazed.
A.
90 INT. CHARLOTTE'S APARTMENT/STUDY -- LATER -- FALL 90
Carrie sits in a chair. She is holding a glass and has an
Hermes blanket wrapped around her.
65.
Miranda sits nearby holding a bottle of vodka. Samantha
paces, working on her iPHONE.
CARRIE
I thought I would still be in
extreme pain but I'm feeling
nothing.
Carrie reaches over and holds out her glass.
CARRIE (CONT'D)
I'd like a little more nothing.
Miranda nods and pours some more vodka into it...
CARRIE (V.O.) (CONT'D)
I had gone from Little Women to
Little Drunk Women.
Charlotte enters and looks over at Carrie, soulfully.
CARRIE (CONT'D)
Yes, I'm still jilted.
SAMANTHA
What the hell got into him? He was
perfectly fine at the dinner.
Miranda sips her vodka -- should she say anything?
CARRIE
I knew it when he called last
night. I could tell.
SAMANTHA
Why didn't you say anything?
She shrugs and sips.
CARRIE
Didn't want to believe it. Didn't
even want to say it out loud.
(beat)
And now I have nowhere to love --
(beat; then)
I meant live. I have nowhere to
live.
CHARLOTTE
You'll stay here.
CARRIE
Forever.
A.
She sips. Charlotte looks at her, concerned.
66.
CHARLOTTE
Maybe you should eat something.
She shakes her head. Charlotte looks at the others.
CHARLOTTE (CONT'D)
Anyone hungry?
They shake their heads; no.
CARRIE
Well, if you change your minds, I
know where we can get one hundred
beef, seventy-five fish and twenty-
five vegetarian meals.
She sips. Charlotte rubs her back. She sips.
CARRIE (CONT'D)
And my clothes. All my clothes. I
can never go over there again. How
am I going to get my clothes?
SAMANTHA
Oh, honey -- I can hire people to
do all that. Anything you need.
CARRIE
A hit man?
(beat)
I have nothing to wear but a
wedding gown.
CHARLOTTE
You have your honeymoon stuff here.
CARRIE
There's the silver lining. A
honeymoon to a romantic Mexican
resort that's pre-paid on my credit
card because I wanted to surprise
the man who jilted me.
SAMANTHA
I can get you out of that. Worse
comes to worse -- I'll say there
was a death or something.
CARRIE
Wasn't there?
She sips, looking sad.
A.
90A INT. CHARLOTTE'S APARTMENT/LILY'S ROOM -- LATER 90A
Charlotte leans down and tucks in the sleeping Lily. She
picks up a "Chinese baby doll" and nestles it under Lily's
arm, then turns and starts out.
67.
91 INT. CHARLOTTE'S APARTMENT/HALLWAY -- CONTINUOUS 91
Miranda is standing in the hall as Charlotte enters from
Lily's room.
MIRANDA
I did something really bad -- I
think.
Charlotte looks at her.
MIRANDA (CONT'D)
I said something to Big. At the
rehearsal dinner.
CHARLOTTE
What do you mean?
MIRANDA
It was right after Steve showed up.
I was upset... Big came up to me --
and I said something like: You're
crazy to get married.
(off her look)
It just came out.
Charlotte nods trying to understand.
MIRANDA (CONT'D)
Do you think it was totally the
reason?
CHARLOTTE
(cutting her a break)
No, no, no. Big has been weird
about marriage for years.
MIRANDA
I keep thinking I should tell
Carrie.
CHARLOTTE
No, no. This is a really bad time
to even mention it - no, no, no.
Find another time. Later.
Samantha comes down the hall. She is energized.
SAMANTHA
Well, turns out, I couldn't get her
out of the honeymoon -- but I got
us in.
68.
MIRANDA
What?
SAMANTHA
I just booked us three seats on the
flight. Mexico here we come.
Charlotte and Miranda react; completely thrown.
MIRANDA
I can't go to Mexico. I have a job.
Samantha indicates Carrie -- sitting in the den staring off
to nowhere, deeply sad -- Devastated.
92 EXT. MEXICAN RESORT/ROAD -- SUNSET 92
A lush tropical road with a view of the sun setting on the
ocean. A large open air GOLF CART comes around the bend
holding the girls. Carrie's hair blows in the breeze, her
sunglasses firmly in place.
93 EXT. MEXICAN RESORT/HOUSE -- A LITTLE LATER 93
A gorgeous romantic private house surrounded by tropical
splendor. The cart arrives in front. The DOORS are open and
PAULO (38) the BUTLER stands there holding a tray with two
beautiful tropical drinks. He is surprised when he sees the
four women, but he covers, effortlessly.
PAULO
Welcome to Mexico.
SAMANTHA
Buenos dias.
Carrie gets out of the cart and goes into the house --
followed by Charlotte and Miranda. Samantha arrives and picks
up a drink off the tray.
PAULO
I'm sorry. I am confused. I am
waiting for a Mr. And Mrs. Preston.
SAMANTHA
Honey, you'll be waiting for a long
time.
She sips the drink, then looks at him, "familiar."
69.
SAMANTHA (CONT'D)
We'll talk.
94 INT. MEXICAN RESORT HOUSE/MAIN ROOM -- CONTINUOUS 94
Charlotte and Miranda stand looking at the gorgeous, romantic
private Mexican bungalow. Samantha enters; looks.
SAMANTHA
This... will kill her.
(beat)
Where is she?
CHARLOTTE
In the powder room.
95 INT. MEXICAN RESORT HOUSE/POWDER ROOM -- CONTINUOUS 95
Carrie stands looking in the mirror. She takes off her
sunglasses. Her eyes are red, red, red. She splashes water on
her face and looks at herself in the beautiful Mexican
mirror.
96 INT. MEXICAN RESORT HOUSE/MASTER BEDROOM -- MOMENTS LATER 96
Paulo leads Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha into the
romantic bedroom suite. On the bed -- rose petals are
scattered in the shape of a large heart.
MIRANDA
Oh My God!
Miranda and Charlotte quickly grab the bed cover and jerk it
up -- throwing all the rose petals off. Paulo watches.
Miranda addresses him in a very intense WHISPER.
MIRANDA (CONT'D)
No more honeymoon stuff. This is
very important. Have I made myself
clear?
